Reconstruction behaviour of fcc(110) transition metal surfaces and their vicinals
The fcc(110) surfaces are well known for their strong tendency to missing-row (MR) type reconstructions either in the clean state (Au, Pt) or driven by adsorbates (Ni, Cu, Pd, Ag). The present knowledge on the...

Investigations of the selective population of hydrogen subsurface sites on Pd(110) using He diffraction and thermal-desorption spectroscopy
Surface-structure models for the 2×1 and 1×2 hydrogen chemisorption phases formed on Pd(110) at 100 K have been derived from He-diffraction data. The respective coverages correspond to 1 and 1.5 monolayers (ML...
